There were some excsIlent reasons
given fer the selection Of Chief Justice
from gentlemen non resident Of the
Territory, and The ignoring in that par
ticular Of the resolution In our National
Democrats platform; bat taking int
view the fast Of there being before you
50 many eompstent candidates fer
CLERK, With the selection in your own
hands. / can zee no possible excuse fer
your going outside Of your swn district
for q choice. and believe that with q lit
tie careful investigation you ean readily
select some eenEleman Who viii be salts

others interested. In this particular in
stance, hope 80 see that kind Of 8
Recommendation that comes 10 you with
the brand Of "You tickle ue, snd III
tickle you" conspicuously on its fore
head, left severely alone.
Democrats of this county Of King
and this Third Judicial District, and
our Territory &c large, have not had Q
fair showing at the haads Of our Demo
cratic Administration, and they need
and ought TO have, all the ofiiSial sup
port that can be legitimately giver
them. Although for years and years IN
q minority. and with nearly every office
National. Territorial and county, in the
hands Of their opponents, they have
still adhered 20 their ''old love" and
hoped for change Of the political tide
The change has come, and nov they
should be benefited and braced up and
made strong. Every Democratic OH
cial having patronage at bis dispose
